Waste heat from data centers can boost air temperatures in downwind neighborhoods by as much as 4 degrees Fahrenheit, researchers at Arizona State University report in a new study conducted in the Phoenix metro area, the hottest in the U.S.
Eh, Minneapolis gets cold, but it doesn’t quite get that cold. The record low was -34 degrees F (-37C). We do regularly hit -20F, but we haven’t hit -30 since 1996.
Nitpicking aside, I agree that the winters can get brutal.
I remember it got cold enough during that winter polar vortex thing that the power company was asking people to keep their homes at like 60 so that we didn’t overload the power grid and gas pressure. I want to say that was like 2016 or something when I used to live there.
I lived in southeast Minneapolis right near the U of M. I wasn’t there for the winter of 2013-2014 as I originally came in October of 2014 and lived there until 2019.
Weak ass infrastructure. I live in an area that gets to be -50 (C but at that point does not really matter) almost every year and don’t have those sort of issues. (well yet as we seem to be poisoned by your stupid us thinking of cut every corner)

Did you live in Minneapolis or a suburb?
Winter of 2013-2014 was pretty brutal. I’m not sure about 16-17 though.
